'They're Getting Shot,' Kamala Harris Warns Home Intruders, Burglars, Litterbugs, Slow Walkers FARMINGTON HILLS, MI—Discussing the Second Amendment with Oprah Winfrey at a Michigan town hall last night, Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she may have gotten too comfortable when she remarked that any home intruders, burglars, litterbugs, or slow walkers near her house could expect to be shot. "If somebody breaks into my house, knocks on my door to sell me something, or leaves their dog's waste on my lawn, they're getting shot," the Democratic presidential nominee said in an attempt to [...] https://theonion.com/theyre-getting-shot-kamala-harris-warns-home-intruders-burglars-litterbugs-slow-walkers/

Jill Biden Becomes First Female President WASHINGTON, D.C. — History was made during the first cabinet meeting in over 11 months today, as First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was officially sworn in as the first female president of the United States. "Look at me. I'm the president now. What is it I'm supposed to do?" Dr. Biden said according to official White House transcripts. According to media reports, Dr. Biden showed true leadership when she manipulated her senile husband into letting her run a cabinet meeting, where she promptly [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/jill-biden-becomes-first-female-president

Surprising that no one posted this already. Comments about this article? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Supporters Apparently Attacked At Rally With Clandestine Weapon At least 20 Trump supporters may have been attacked covertly by chemicals or a high-power laser at a Trump rally in Tucson on September 12. Some victims suffered severe burns. Many were temporarily blinded, with symptoms lasting until today. Others may have been affected but have yet to be identified. The fact that all those known to have been affected were sitting on the stage immediately adjacent to President Trump is important in understanding the significance of what happened.

The author calls it "Operation Gelding"! See the casualty figures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Israel haters who wept for Gaza civilians now weep for Hezbollah terrorists One of the virtues of Israel's exquisitely targeted attack against Hezbollah terrorists is that it's finally revealed the truth for all to see: The people who have spent the last months crying about Israel killing civilians cared nothing about the civilians. What made them angry was that Israel was defeating Hamas, an Iranian proxy, so an enemy of both Israel and America. We know this because the same people, rather than congratulating Israel for a targeted attack the likes of which no one has ever seen, are now angry at Israel for killing enemy soldiers, even as they're completely silent about Hamas's most recent massive rocket barrage against Israeli civilians.

'No One Is Coming for Your Gas Stove': Look at How New Yorkers Cook After Hochul Cut Off Their Gas We suppose, technically, New York Governor Kathy Hochul hasn't banned gas stoves. She just prohibits it being used in buildings, so while New Yorkers like David here can't cook with gas, they still own a gas stove. Checkmate, conservatives! Or something. But check out how a guy living in Manhattan -- one of the most expensive cities in the world -- is forced to cook since Hochul cut the gas to his apartment building: [...] https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/09/20/this-is-how-people-live-after-hochul-cut-off-gas-to-their-apartments-n2401215

DeSantis: Fed Investigators Refuse to Cooperate With Florida's Assassination Attempt Probe Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday said that federal investigators have refused to cooperate with state officials conducting their own investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which occurred Sunday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham — after signing an executive order earlier this week authorizing Florida's attorney general to open a criminal investigation into the incident — DeSantis said the feds have rebuffed state officials several times.

Looks like Israel preemptively struck just in time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Report: Hezbollah Had an 'October 7-Like' Attack in the Works Before It Was Blown to Smithereens [...] Reports have since emerged that Hezbollah was planning an "October 7-like" attack on Israel codenamed "Conquer the Galilee." October 7, 2023, was, of course, the day that Hamas terrorists from Gaza conducted a merciless assault on Israel, resulting in the barbarous murders of thousands of Israelis and the kidnappings of hundreds more — many of whom are still being held hostage nearly a year later. Following the latest action by Israel, the IDF revealed what they believe Hezbollah was planning: [...} https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2024/09/20/report-hezbollah-had-an-october-7-like-attack-in-the-works-before-it-was-blown-to-smithereens-n2179576

Wonder where else this is occurring? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chicago Teachers Instructed to Give Illegal Immigrant Students Passing Grades Despite Poor Performance [...] The sanctuary city of Chicago has struggled mightily with an influx of illegal immigrants. Now, teachers in Chicago are saying that they are being told to give passing grades to illegal immigrant students regardless of their academic performance. Public school teachers from several districts say they have been told to pass the students. One second-grade teacher was told to pass a student with a "C" in all subjects, from the second to the third grade, despite the fact that the student was testing at a kindergarten level. Another teacher claims that at a training session, he was told to promote illegal immigrant students automatically to the next grade.

This is so wrong, on so many levels. Dr. Jill is allegedly signing legislation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ People Have a Lot of Questions About Report That Jill Biden's Signature Is on Legislation Folders [...] Notice Joe is the only one not clapping; he just looks out of it. But everyone else clapped the way you used to clap for old Soviet leaders, because you needed to suck up to the power. That's what it looked like to me. And it made me think about the deal to get him out. She didn't want to go; is part of the deal she has to look like she's significant, with things like this? There's another reason I ask that question, which was also going viral on X.

Direct, blatant insubordination! Read for specifics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ House Committee Drops Transcripts They Say PROVE Pentagon Ignored Trump's J6 National Guard Request We've seen a lot of dishonest statements and allegations from the left about the events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosiand the corrupt J6 Committee dropping the most disinformation. One of the longest-running allegations is that Donald Trump knew violence was coming but did nothing to stop it. He never requested the National Guard, the narrative goes. He didn’t care what happened. Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) of the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight has a different view, however, and he has newly released transcripts to back it up. In a press release Friday, Loudermilk said the Pentagon brass simply ignored Trump's requests: [...] https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/09/20/oversight-committee-drops-transcripts-they-say-prove-pentagon-ignored-trumps-j6-national-guard-request-n2179589

Why Is Jill Running the First Biden Cabinet Meeting in Nearly a Year? After Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, it wasn't just his campaign that came to a halt — the illusion that he was running the country evaporated as well. Instead of governing, he spent more time at the beach than in the White House. The façade that Joe Biden is still in charge took another blow on Friday during the first cabinet meeting in nearly a year, where a visibly exhausted Biden made brief remarks before passing control of the meeting to his wife, Jill Biden.

Biden's Long Shadow: The one-term president will haunt us for years The latest New York Times/Siena College poll has some cautionary data for Kamala Harris and the KHive. The Times found Harris winning Pennsylvania by 4 points, just outside the margin of error, but deadlocked with Donald Trump nationwide. While Harris beats Trump by 13 points on who best will handle abortion, Trump beats Harris by 13 points on the economy, 12 points on the border, and 8 points on Ukraine. Among independents, Trump leads by 4 points. Asked if Harris represents change or more of the same, 52 percent of voters said more of the same. By contrast, 59 percent said Trump represents change. He's the disrupter in a year when, according to RealClearPolitics, 61 percent of voters say the country is on the wrong track. Harris shoulders a burden: Joe Biden.

This gets even better every day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beirut strike kills suspect in 1983 bombings that killed 300 Americans Israel killed a top Hezbollah figure who was wanted by the U.S. for his role in the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy and a Marine Corps barracks that killed 300 people, the Israeli military confirmed Friday. Hezbollah's operations commander, Ibrahim Aqil, was the subject of a $7 million State Department reward for information leading to his arrest. The Israeli military said it had killed Aqil and as many as 10 other senior commanders of the movement's Radwan special forces unit.

'Pizza, Ravioli, Spaghetti, Mamma Mia!' Says Kamala Harris In Mario Hat And Mustache While Addressing Crowd Of Italians PHILADELPHIA, PA — Yet another campaign audience was treated to a speech specially tailored to relate to them, as Vice President Kamala Harris adopted a pitch-perfect accent and image while addressing a crowd of Italian American voters. Harris's campaign speech to a group of supporters at a local chapter of the Italian Heritage Club was punctuated by a special outfit she wore specifically for the event, consisting of a familiar red plumber's cap and a bushy, cartoon mustache.

Biden Promises Next Trump Assassin Will Be A Woman Of Color [...] In an exclusive sit-down interview with Al Sharpton on MSNBC, Biden said, "It's long past time. We should have assassins that reflect the nation — a black nation. Blacks are great killers. No, I'm serious! Have you ever been to South Central? Corn Pop was a bad dude, a killer! And I want someone like that on our team. But, you know, a woman." "Black women are just as smart and capable as Lee Harvey Oswald," he added.

If this is true, it's big. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump takes a clear lead among New York State's Jewish voters Siena College's latest poll had some interesting results, especially from Jewish voters, long one of the Democrat party's most reliable demographics. It turns out that Jewish voters don't like what they see. The poll generally asks like/dislike questions and specific questions about the economy and immigration, but I have to believe that Jews are also worried about the Democrats' antisemitism problem and Kamala and Biden's efforts to save Hamas (a Nazi-like terrorist organization) from extinction. You can see the Siena poll here, but it's in microscopic font with a bewildering number of rows of information. I've broken out the massive shift in Jewish support for Trump and some interesting general findings.
